Most Bosses were like this. Before the equipment was up to standard, it was harder than reaching the sky. No matter how hard you tried, you would not be able to clear it. However, when the equipment caused a crushing effect, it was easy no matter how you looked at it. This was a "hardware" problem. It was not something that could be made up for with mechanics and awareness.
Angry Beauty was able to leave everyone in the dust because of Gentle Poison's beautiful turnaround. The Petrification Inheritance was equivalent to giving her a full set of Xuan Spiritual Armor. In addition to the Petrification Inheritance, there were still some active skills that were not known to outsiders. Using skills to achieve an effect similar to upgrading equipment, it formed another kind of crushing effect.
Zhang Yang currently had seven Xuan Spiritual Weapons on him. The Devourer Sword and Warrior's Medal were not defensive equipment. However, the shield, the main protective equipment of a tank, was a genuine Level 130 Xuan Spiritual Equipment. Just this piece of equipment alone could increase his defense to a terrifying level!
Compared to the Defense increase from Gentle Poison's skills, Zhang Yang's was the real crushing effect from his equipment.
The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain could not help but smile bitterly. He thought that if Zhang Yang had joined the First Clear team earlier, he would not have been so tired.
However, on the other hand, if Zhang Yang had not been running around to fight Wild Bosses and do main quests, he would not have been able to get his current set of terrifying equipment, and he would not have been able to crush Bosses.
"Alright, everyone get into position. The Boss is about to start!" The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain said.
Everyone spread out like a net. Zhang Yang took out his sword and shield and said, "I'll count down from three, two, one. Let's go!"
Three, two, one!
Zhang Yang strode towards the Boss with Thunder Eagle and Fei Ling beside him. Unfortunately, mounts could not be used in the Instance Dungeon. Otherwise, his maximum Health Points would reach 350,000, completely crushing the Boss.
Xiu!
The Broken Sword was unleashed. A sword shadow entered the Boss' body, causing 29,802 damage to Hatcher. At the same time, the Boss was officially involved in the battle.
"Stinky Rats, you're here again!" The Boss roared and charged towards Zhang Yang. The short axe in its hand curled and slashed towards Zhang Yang's neck.
-14113！
Zhang Yang did not use Block. He wanted to see how much damage the Boss could deal to him.
"Only 14,000 damage!"
"No way, Starlight dealt more than 20,000 damage!"
"As expected of the guild leader! He's truly awesome!"
Everyone couldn't help but break out into a flurry of discussion. Unbounded Starlight, on the other hand, looked like a wronged daughter-in-law as he meekly said, "I'm actually pretty awesome, okay?"
The battle began. Everyone got into position and started attacking the boss.
Zhang Yang's damage output was already second to none. He didn't need to worry about aggro at all. He could steadily pull the Boss with just his damage output. Looking at the damage statistics, Fatty Han, who was ranked second, had to deal at least double the damage in order to keep up with him!
"Wow! The guild leader's damage is terrifying!"
"That's right. In the past, Fat Bro always said that he would reward anyone with 10,000 Gold Coins if their damage exceeded his. Now, he's been suppressed to the point where he can't even say anything!"
"Yes, his face has turned green!"
Fatty Han couldn't help but grumble, "Yang Zi is Fat Bro's good brother. Fat Bro is letting him win. Otherwise, once Fat Bro's Vampire Inheritance is activated, God will kill God, Buddha will kill Buddha. Crushing Yang Zi will be a piece of cake!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Very quickly, Hatcher began to release skills. He randomly threw Blood Poison Infection and Warlord's Wrath, causing the team to be in chaos. Fortunately, everyone had come all the way here. Although they were panicking, they weren't chaotic. Everything was orderly.
For the team, the biggest threat came from the Boss's Infection Damage. For 10 seconds, it increased the damage taken by the Tank by 50%! Because those who were infected by the Blood Poison Infection were constantly losing Health Points, they needed at least one healer to take care of them.
Moreover, the Boss battle had to be finished within 10 minutes. Otherwise, once the Boss went berserk, even Zhang Yang would be instantly killed! It was impossible for everyone to have super damage output like Zhang Yang, Sun Xinyu, and Wei Yan'er. Killing the Boss in 10 minutes was still very stressful!
Under such circumstances, the team definitely had to bring less healers and more damage output. This put a huge demand on the Tank's "toughness".
With more healers, the Tank would be safe, but if the team's damage output was insufficient, the whole team would be instantly killed by the Boss after 10 minutes! And with less healers, the Tank's safety couldn't be guaranteed. It was a difficult situation.
Now that they had a powerful Tank like Zhang Yang, all of these problems were solved. With his Defense, even if he was infected by the Boss, he would at most deal 25,000 damage. Even if he didn't take Block into account, he would only deal 130,000 damage in 10 seconds. Compared to his 190,000 Health Points … …
With the most difficult part of the Boss battle taken care of, all that was left was to deal damage step by step.
The team's damage output wasn't weak in the first place. With Zhang Yang's overpowered skills, in just eight minutes, the Boss let out a cry and fell at everyone's feet. A large pile of loot dropped, and Desert Dust's dungeon progress became 915!
"It's that simple?" After defeating the Boss, the team members couldn't believe their eyes. They had worked themselves to the bone yesterday, and if they weren't instantly wiped out by the Boss after 10 minutes, they would also be instantly wiped out by the Boss. Why was it that the Boss had fallen today?
Was this Hard Mode?
The Boss dropped a total of three Purple Gold Tier equipment, one of which was exclusive to the Follower. Zhang Yang didn't compete with the others. His current equipment was more than enough to take down Dragonmaw Stronghold. It was better to let the others quickly upgrade their equipment.
After all, what determined how much water a bucket could hold wasn't the longest board, but the shortest one!
Increasing the overall strength of the team was the way to go.
After distributing the loot, the team continued forward, clearing out monsters along the way towards the tenth Boss.
Zhang Yang wasn't interested in tanking the monsters, so he naturally left it to Infinite Starlight. This Sub Tank had to shine. He couldn't just sit on the bench all the time!
There weren't as many monsters in the dungeon as in the wild, but every single one of them was very strong. They were definitely the elites of the elites. They were like mini-Bosses that took one to two minutes to kill.
As Zhang Yang fought, he used a Destructive Strike. Suddenly, he felt his right hand heat up and a strange feeling welled up in his heart!
"Roar — —" A huge Eastern Dragon God surged out of Zhang Yang's Annihilation Blade and attacked the two Elite Door Gods!
-289930！
-317820！
Two terrifying damage values jumped up from the Elite monster's body, causing everyone who saw it to be dumbfounded.
This was … Heavenly Dragon Strike!
Although this skill's damage was terrifying and could deal 10 times the normal attack damage to all targets in a large area, the frequency of its activation was really not impressive! At least, Zhang Yang had only triggered it once since he entered the dungeon!
The most important thing was that this skill couldn't be controlled and could only be triggered by normal attacks!
Sigh, it's such a waste to trigger it while fighting small monsters!
After a small interlude, the team continued forward, taking twists and turns along the way. It took them nearly two hours to reach the tenth Boss.
Although everyone had fought the tenth Boss in Normal and Hard Mode before, the Boss in Death Mode couldn't be compared to the Hard Mode. Not only did the skill damage increase a lot, but it also had one or two more skills. It was difficult to copy the tactics from the Hard Mode.
Zhang Yang quietly made a fortune, letting the Foolish Old Man Removes Mountains arrange the tactics. Whether it was wrong or right, he didn't say a word. It was completely up to the team members to freely play and verify whether the tactics were feasible through specific battles.
It had to be said that pioneering was a very boring thing. Facing the same Boss all the time and failing again and again, after a few times, it would be very frustrating.
After being wiped a few times, the team temporarily took a break. They sat in a circle and joked around to relieve the tension. As the saying goes, when men and women work together, it's not tiring. A few female players even sang and danced on the side, quickly getting everyone's spirits up again.
After a few more attempts, the team gradually found the correct tactics.
Because Zhang Yang as a Tank had the absolute power to crush the enemy, the team was also lacking the correct tactics. As long as the tactics were reasonable, defeating the Boss would become a matter of course.
After one night, before most people went to work, the team finally defeated the tenth Boss, catching up to Angry Beauty's progress. This also caused Angry Beauty's solo team to become a male and female team. As for who would win, it was a huge mystery.
Zhang Yang didn't immerse himself in the dungeon, instead helping the little girl with her Dark Legacy quest. They still had to fight a few small Bosses. It wasn't that the little girl and Han Ying Xue couldn't defeat them, but wouldn't it be easier with Zhang Yang's help?
Following Angry Beauty and Desert Dust's sudden burst of strength, the other top guilds didn't want to fall behind and all brought out their Legacy players. Whether it was the European server's Nihilum, Paragon, or the North American server's Bloodlegion, Exodus, they all caught up.
The more time passed, the more players received the Legacy. Even if the Legacy under C grade didn't have the ability to transform, it would still increase the damage. Moreover, with the addition of new skills, it would definitely be much stronger than before.
As a result, when these Legacy players all entered the dungeon, the progress of the top guilds was like a blowout, very quickly reaching 1015.
However, every five Bosses in Dragonmaw Stronghold was a stage, and the difficulty of the last five Bosses was much higher than the previous ten Bosses! After the blowout, it became stagnant. The eleventh Boss became a new obstacle, blocking the path of all the guilds.
The players' Legacy Transformation must have been used during the Ancient Creature Invasion, so when the Legacy Transformation cooldown was over, there would definitely be new changes in the dungeon's progress!
